Remnant: From the Ashes: Swamps of Corsus impressions – Another hard rooting

Remnant: From the Ashes took everyone by surprise last year. From the team at Gunfire Games, Remnant managed to do what many have failed: bring the Soulsborne formula into a new genre.

The Swamps of Corsus DLC looks to expand its namesake, introduce new armor, weapons, mods, and traits, while also adding a new roguelike mode. As far as DLCs go, Swamps of Corsus is an excellent experience and every other Souls-like game needs to

Reebok Celebrates Alien Day With New U.S.C.M.-Inspired Shoes

Alien Day will be here again on April 26, and that means we're in store for some new merch from the iconic franchise. Reebok started its Alien Stomper shoe line last year, releasing replica versions of the sneakers worn by Ellen Ripley in 1986's Aliens.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Review

A lot has changed in real life since I first started playing Animal Crossing: New Horizons at the end of February, and even since I wrote my review in progress in the middle of March. Having such a wholesome game during an objectively bad time has been something of a blessing for a lot of people, myself included, and I'd be lying if I said it hasn't affected how I play New Horizons. I find myself turning to the game at night when I can't sleep, or during the day

Both of them were an inspiration for Fury Unleashed,
